For the upcoming tour, Skrillex has teamed up with Red Bull to help assist with the stage production. “Nobody touches Red Bull right now when it comes to thinking up groundbreaking projects and ideas and actually making them happen,” said Skrillex in a press release. “My crew and their crew have a lot in common, as people in terms of thinking big and going big so they were an obvious choice as a partner for my 2014 tour.”
